    Summary

    Tim is five years old when he drowns in his parents' pool. He dies quietly, waiting for parents who love him, but will never be there, to realise that something is wrong. They never show up, and he sinks into oblivion.

    When he wakes up and claws his way out of the water, the sun has set, and the lights of his house are on. He is cold and wet and his lungs burn.

    But most of all, Tim is alone.

    (If you die and no-one is there to see it, were you ever alive in the first place?)

    Summary

    In which the Balladeer has been defeated, and Scaramouche is no more. Now all that’s left is the humiliated and broken soul of Kunikuzushi, the discarded prototype of the Shogun.

    He was intended to be killed, as he should have been over 500 years ago.

    Fortunately, for the second time in his life, he was shown mercy from the most unexpected place.

    Now, he must learn to trust once more and furthermore learn to heal on the road to recovery made for him by a cheeky and flirtatious detective, and a Samurai who looks far too much like his first friend.

    Summary

    For Beidou, it’s all just the same as every other job, except her cargo is human. Well, until the boy opens his mouth and she starts to feel things she never has before.

     

    She’s not mother material. Hasn’t ever wanted to be a mother. Didn’t even consider it. But the universe knows better, and she finds herself every bit the mother she never thought she’d be.

     

    Now, if only there was a way to explain this to Ningguang that wouldn’t result in mocking laughter and a great deal of smugness.
